Georgia's Republican lieutenant governor, a Trump critic, says he will not seek reelection in 2022
CNN
Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan -- a Republican who has been critical of former President Donald Trump's false claims of fraud in the state's election -- announced Monday he will not seek reelection in 2022.
"It always feels coldest right before the sun rises," Duncan wrote in a statement posted on Twitter. "I believe that is the exact moment in time the Republican Party is caught in right now, and I am committed to being a part of creating those better days ahead for our conservative party all across this country." Duncan is the latest Republican official to voice his concerns over the direction of the GOP as many lawmakers and Trump allies continue to peddle conspiracy theories and push lies about the 2020 election and then outline their vision for reforming the party.More Related News
